Lupus and PD

Hi my name is Earline I was diagnosed with PD in April 2019. I would like to know if there is anyone out there with Sls (lupus) also I am having a hard time copeing with both. How do you handle the two.

  1. Hi Earline. I was diagnosed with lupus 45 years ago and with Parkinson’s in 2020. It can be a challenge to deal with more than one autoimmune disease for both the patient and the Drs. I recently published an article called What Do I Have Now? If you are interested you may also want to read my Bio under Community Advocates.If you want to be more specific regarding what particular issues you are struggling with,I would be more than willing to try and answer your questions. My drs work as a team, which is very helpful. Do you belong to any lupus support groups? I would recommend Lupus. net which is also sponsored by Health Union, https:// lupus.org and lupus research.org They all excellent sources of information and support. We Sometimes getting an answer from both PD and lupus sites can clarify a question you may have. I am glad Suzanne Troy referred you to me.I am sure we have a lot in common and can support one another. Please stay in touch with me and let me know how you are doing.
